Picamoles crocked for a month

France international and Montpellier back row forward, Louis Picamoles, will play no part in the forthcoming block of the European Challenge Cup, after suffering a back injury.
Picamoles has a herniated invertebral disk, more commonly known as a slipped disc and will be out of action for at least one month.
This is bad news for Montpellier as they battle to progress from Pool Two of the European Challenge Cup.
He will miss Round Three and Four of the European Challenge Cup, the crucial double-header with Toulon.
Montpellier already trail Northampton Saints by six points, meaning dropping points in the matches with Toulon will see off any hopes of quarterfinal qualification.
